I see a few turtles out on the logs painted ones mostly just can’t figure what could feed in that swift water under water, it could be that owl just the rats don’t move the #4s very far on their own.

Pretty rare here and the water was moving fast they would be swept away with the current.

Could be almost skinned out like a mink would do, the head cut at the neck reminded me of a owl just out in the swift water and moving the trap that far.

Back in february I had a beaver in a drowner and when i pulled it up the beaver was just a shell and i dumped 2 turtles out of the carcass. Wasnt rotten, they had torn a hole in the throat and cleaned the inside of the beaver out. All sorts of fish and other turtles all around the bottom where the beaver was.
water was still cold enough i didnt reset the trap that day.
